That… was… awesome…. I’ve had people like that come in before. We make them sign AMA (against medical advice) forms when they leave. I wish there was some kind of stupid tax we could charge people for arguments like this. Doesn’t he know bug spray intoxication is more “shake n’ bake?” (they get tremors and high temperatures from said tremoring with a lot of the common chemicals used in bug spray)

So funny! And yet so frustrating! Once again I feel the need to 1) pat myself on the back for being a sane pet parent and 2) thank the universe that it has not made me work with the public since my 11 years in retail. I think I would have had to beat the guy senseless, which wouldn’t have helped his poor dog (or maybe it would have) and would have likely landed me in jail. Yikes!

What’s sad is that this conversation happens just about every day in my hospital in some form or another. It really makes me want to ask, “Well, why the hell did you even bring him in?” Someday I’m going to have to use that line…

Wooow, I would’ve punched this guy in the head. What was the point of even bringing his dog to the vet if he ‘knew’ what was wrong, and didn’t want to stop the ‘side effect’ of puking. Ughh, so annoying. I hate people sometimes, lol.

OMG – ah, how could you manage more than one of these a week? There must be a cumulative effect – hope you can take lots of holidays! Sounds like some of the give up stories we get at the shelter. When you ask a question twice, you get two different answers! Gotta agree with Meagan about the stupid tax…there must be a way!
